Be it known that I, LOUIS Bozzo, a citizen f of the United States, residing at Paterson, in the county of Passaic and yState of New,V Jersey, have invented certain new and uses ful Improvements in Harness-Motions for Looms, ofwhich the following is a specication.

VThis invention relates to harness motions f for looms and its object is `to provide .a harness motion for use 1n connection wlthv Y plain looms which lcan befleveled withV greater facility than can ordinary harness `emotions comprising a `dobby and means i therein toeffect the leveling.

In the accompanying drawings, Y l Figure lY isa rear elevation of a loom inn cluding the improved harness motion;

Fig. 2 isa plan; l

Fig.' 3 is a side elevation;and

Figs. ll' and 5 illustrate details. a designates the frame and?) the harness frames; onlyvtwo harness frames are shown', but it 1 will be understood that there willy usually be two sets ofharness frames to lreciprocate in opposite directions, this latter being accomplished by(preferably) a pair `ofrollers c journaled on parallel and honi 1- zontal 4axes ask hereinafter explained, Z and e" als4 being flexible connections whicheXtend from the respective sets of harness frames upwardly to and 1n opposite directions around the rollers c and are secured to the latter,

`so thatl when thei rollers are oscillated in synchrony the. desired reciprocation. of the harness frames` in oppositeV directionsl will ensue. i *s The rollers c are fixed lto horizontalshafts f which are journaled in the brackets g se#A cured to the loom frame a, and on these` shafts are secured ycranks Zt which may bev connected by the link i, whereby the rollers are caused to oscillate in synchrony.-

The shaft f of one roller is equipped at Vone end with a crank j for turnin-grit by hand. At its other end this shaft is prolonged, and carries a fixed collar 7c.

The collar is abutted by a clutch member Z which may be `formed as a crank and is revoluble on the shaft; abutting the Vinside face of clutch member Z is a .clutch member vm splined on the shaft and having a tooth n l ness frames, an oscillating member journaled also'having a peripheral groove 79.

In brackets s a slide t is-arranged to move parallel with the axes of vthe oscillating members formediby the rollers c and .their v,shafts j and close to the. one of these m'embers which is equipped rwith .theY clutch means just described. It has one end formed as a fork t" equipped with pins tf engaged in the vgroove 29 'of clutch member m, its

other end having pivoted thereto a handle u' Ahavingv a toe c vwhich projects toward the frame and forms a fulcrum for the leverVv which said handle then constitutes. p

On thetappet shaft w of the loom isa gear w in mesh with a gear lz/yjournaled on a stud e.

At the ytop of the loom frame is a l bell; crank lever 2. 13 is a suitableconnection between Ya wrist vpin l on the gear kg/ andV a studv 5 on thevlever Q, and 6a suitablefconnection between the studs 7 and 8 of` said lever and the crank of clutch member Z.

VThe normal position of the parts is that'k Y shown .in the 'drawings Through the `described'connections'between the gear and the clutch member Z the aforesaid oscillating members to which the iharness frames' are connected will be'oscillated in the regular way when shaft `wfis in lmotion. If the weaver desires to level the harness, the loom beingthen stopped,fhe. presses on the handle u so as toA withdraw the clutch member m out of interlocking engagement with clutchv member Z, whereupony with his other hand and by means of crankyV he turns the oscillating members in thev proper direction to interlocke'd with clutch member Z.

To reset the mechanism, the crank is turned'until the tooth n regis' y It will be observed that-the handle u andV crank j areV placed at the front of the loom, the positionmost .convenient to the weaver when in order to locate'a missing end he has to resort to leveling the harness.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secureby 'Letters Patent is :f-
